Always a dandy time at the UI Ice Arena. During the public skate times it can get pretty crowded in the evenings. Would reccomend going in the afternoon public skate times for a little less busy time.

★★★★★ Micah, Dec 2022

Great skate! Took the little ones for the first time, they had a blast! Great mix of college students and families. Very polite staff and very friendly. Highly recommend for family fun!

★★★★★ James, Jan 2025

This is a neat older building to play hockey in. For the most part it is very accessible inside. Parking on u of I campus can be a hassle. Inside they have tried to update without losing the character of the old arena. It's a larger ice rink to so lots of ground for skaters to cover.

★★★★★ Donald, Jan 2020

The wife and I stopped for the police vs firefighters hockey game. Was a good time!
